PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other

As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. Bopper/Mark(8)(4)(3)(2)(2)(3)(1)(1)-Estee said it very well in her post check it out. That was a really tough road block. Mark won't be going to Vegas. I'm glad it was a NEL even if it wasn't supposed to be. There's no more left though. But Vanessa may be out next week bc of injury

2. Art/JJ (6)(1)(1)(1)(1)(1)(4)(2)-JJ should have insisted Art do the RB, but they did well. I still like them more than the others

3. Vanessa/Ralph (4)(6)(5)(7)(6)(6)(5)(4)-their edit was a little softer this week...i.e., they'll be gone next week

4. Rachel/Dave (5)(2)(4)(5)(5)(2)(2)(3)-meh, I'm really not liking them more and more I hope they don't win

5. Brendon/Rachel-(9)(9)(8)(8)(7)(5)(6)(5)- the "I'm just a girl" talk is infuriating. He feeds that attitude with his comments

1. Bopper and Mark - I was SO SO glad they declared another NEL. These two are the sweetest guys I can recall on this race. I have doubts about them being able to emerge victorious at the end but they have celebrated several victories already. Having to do that dance TWELVE times must have been pure torture. What a guy to come back and finish. That would have been such a heartbreaker if they had voluntarily quit and then learned it was not the end for them just yet. Has anybody EVER quit?

2. Dave/Rachel - She seems nicer than him. And I found it funny that when he asked if he could help/instruct, she replied, "if you'll be nice about it." And I detected a very quick but distinct $hit-eating grin on her face when he hit a pole - after being so cocky about how well he'd do. And I especially disliked his statement about how he's skilled in almost every sport. Still, they are above the others on my lvoe list.

3. Art/JJ - JJ was one of my favorites early on but these past two shows have cost him points with me. I don't see why he had to get SO upset about the failure of Major Dave to U-turn a team but that didn't irritate me nearly as much as his pouty attitude about not succeeding at the dance right away. And he was also too smug about the cricket and promptly made a fool of himself for taking so long. The longer he's around the less I lvoe him. But again, they are still this high on my list because of the couples.

I can't really decide which couple is less likable so I'll call it a tie. Rachel's fake crying and scrunched up pathetic face when she's preparing to break down does give me a little entertainment factor now and then. Poor beautiful Vanessa looks like she might have an owie coming up next week. I can only hope that the Kentucky guys will benefit somehow.

#5 Art/JJ - I absolutely don't like this team at all. They seemed to be likeable in the beginning, but their true colors are coming out. Geez - get over the fact that you can't make other teams play your game. Even Mark/Bopper said it best - crying like a big baby. I absolutely loved it when JJ was struggling in the dance task. Waaaa...what a big baby. Suck it up and just do it.

1)Bopper/Mark (8,7,skipped,5,4,4,3,1) - They get along well, and keep fighting, even when it looks hopeless. I'm not sure they can win, but they could get lucky and make it into the finals.2)Rachel/Dave (2,1,s,6,5,3,2,2) - I think the whole "You should listen to your husband" thing was in jest, since she didn't get upset about it. So they got along well this episode, and when they do that they do well.3)Art/JJ (1,2,s,3,3,2,4,3) - I'm still not positive which is which. One of them isn't bad, the other one needs to chill out.4)Vanessa/Ralph (7,6,s,7,6,5,5,4) - Not too annoying this episode. If Art/JJ keep on their downward spiral, they just might move up. Or they'll return to their old ways.5)Brendon/Rachel (10,9,s,8,7,6,6,5) - "Of course I'm emotional, I'm a girl." Give me a break. Way to set the women's movement back.

Philiminated: No one. When all of the previews showed Bopper and Mark having trouble, I knew they wouldn't be going home. Since they were obviously last, I wasn't surprised it was a NEL.

1. Mark and Bopper - Mark may have had an easier pass on his last dance, however how he managed that many dances in that heat amazes me. As a team they are everything I want, supportive of each other, realising that this is an opportunity to see and do new things, and most of all (dancing and driving excepted) enjoying the race itself.

2. Rachel and Dave - Not that lvoeable, although if Dave tones it down a bit...

3. Ralph and Vanessa - Not great racers, nicer than the couples below.

1. Dave/Rachel (2) - Rachel rocks in this leg, the only reason for them to win this leg is because of her (the driving detour is more time-consuming), it's good to see them even bickering sometimes they would just get back to normal afterwards.

2. Vanessa/Ralph (3) - Vanessa beat BB Rachel at roadblock! Strangely they did not put that into any drama. Really hope them get a 2nd this week, too bad they chose a slow detour.

3. Mark/Bopper (1) - I like M/B, but I think producers persuade them to stay in this leg on purpose by giving a easy pass on roadblock since it is a pre-determined NEL, which made me feel bad as it looks unfair to the other teams left.

4. Art/JJ (4) - Don't know why Art did not do the roadblock, if not because Mark is so hopeless they could be last in this leg. Good to see JJ become more humble at pit stop though.

5. Brendon/Rachel (5) - Nothing made me think they are better than any of the racers above. Rachel stole all attention for this team, I feel bad for Brendon as he is nothing and no one cares about him among all racers left.
